Publisher's summary

She’ll win back her freedom, even if she has to steal it.

Nimona Weston has a debt to pay. Her father’s dealings with the dark society known as the Trust cost Nim her freedom. There’s one way out of the contract on her life and that’s to bide her time and pay the tithes. But when the Trust assigns Nim to a task in the king’s own castle, her freedom is not the only thing she’ll risk.

Warrick Spenser has a secret. As king’s seneschal, he should be the last soul in Inara to risk association with dark magic, but long-hidden ties to the Trust are harder to shed than simply cutting the threads. When the Trust sends a thief to his rooms, Warrick thinks he’s finally found a way to be rid of them for good. But Nimona Weston is hiding secrets of her own.

Magical contracts, blood-debt accountants, and a deadly game. An epic fantasy with Regency flair, an improper and slightly stabby heroine with a penchant for trouble, clean slow-burn romance, and a dark and twisty plot that pits magic against kings, love against power, and a gothic underworld against a kingdom desperate to survive. Perfect for fans of Sorcery of Thorns and The Shadows Between Us.

Can't quite get into it, but excellent narration

The narration is excellent and is the only reason I'm still listening about halfway through. The author writes well, especially emotions and dialogue, but I honestly couldn't explain what the plot of the book is and I'm about halfway through. I think there's a good story in here somewhere, but it gets tedious, as much as I like the antagonist and her love interest.

Abrupt ending

Fair story but it dragged in the beginning and then abruptly finished the story. Im not interested enough to try the next part of the story based on the cliffhanger.

Bad narrator

There was no consistency with the narrator to the point that it made the story hard to follow. She spoke fast and slow, loud and super quiet, and the accents she did were hard to understand at times.

Great characters, more build

The characters are fun and witty, leaving the reader engrossed in what they may do next. The lack of detail in the small things (culture, architecture ect) was actually quite nice, as it helped the story progess. I would have loved to see more build in the romance, as it seemed to blossom from almost no where. More conflict between Warwick and Callum would have been nicee too. The big reveal between two of the characters was too predictable, and I had made the conclusion early on in the book. Overall a good book of intrigue and magic with a touch of romance without any smut
